I dunno why but ever since the dlc came out you can shoot through knight's shields sometimes. When I did nightfall, my praedyth's timepiece was shooting through shields.

It's guns with the extra Oracle damage perk apparently, according to Planet Destiny.

No, you need to complete the plates with 6 people, 5 minimum.

Public events or buy purple armor and dismantle is it your best bet.

Join a normal VoG group and then by pure coincidence have to leave suddenly due to an emergency.

We started a fresh Crota's End raid this week. We're on the final boss but I've lost a couple of teammates. Looking for 2 more to help us beat this thing. Anyone want to help here in a little bit?

So does anybody have a good link to the mechanics of the Crota fight? I think I understand the basics of it just from reading about it but I'd like to be sure before I try to run it tomorrow.

Old Timey Goon who wants to do VoG at least once, never done it ever, would like to experience it sometime.

I joined an LFG group and we made it to the templar but 2 guys kept getting disconnected so we stopped.

Me and my son tried this poo poo on the 24 weekly and got our asses handed to us. Seriously the best way to do it is from the beginning room, clear trash, take potshots. I think the dudes in the vijeo were lucky fucks. Because for us she moved more to the right of us and assploded both of us.

Hey guys, I have the Crota checkpoint (had 2 near perfect attempts ruined by an uncooperative drunk - he couldn't figure out side rotations and then his loving controller died on the next great run) and would like to finish him tonight. I'll be getting on around 10:30-11:00PM Pacific Time. psn: duelclutch

You can cheese it from that spot with 2 people. Just have 1 stand on the rocks so they can't die and keep bringing the other guy back when they die. Works fine.

What's your level? Have you done any Crota's End raiding yet

Its Miller Time
Dec 4, 2004

Took 3 hours but we took down Crota with the goon group. A few things we learned:

1. It's again seriously all about the timing. The sword carrier should be there before he begins the kneeling animation.
2. We ended up going with all R2/smash. Each hit does 14.3k damage. In a good round you do 3 and in a great round you do 4. He has 250k health so you need 18 smash's to down him. So if you get a solid 3 in each go, with 2 go's per sword, that's 12. He had like 20% health going into into the ogres the first time.
3. No reason to get greedy. His shield recharges before he even begins to stand up.
4. We waited for him to move back to the middle from right. It's about repeatable timing, you only need 3 swords if you can get 3 smash's each time twice.
5. Some times there was a shitload of knights/exploding thralls on left as we got back from ogres. We had heavy's out.
6. It's important the sword carrier run backwards kiting the swordbearer so you can all quickly kill him together, he loves to hide. It requires trust from the sword carrier that you're clearing the thralls around him.

The sword carrier makes the raid. If he can't consistently get at least 3 smash's in you won't do it. We found 2 uppercut combos was impossible to get off in time. Plus if you can't do the last move, the smash, you're doing way less damage.

Thanks for that raid Miller, was fun learning all the mechanics of the fight and finally killing him felt great.
